Facebook Takes Down Page Touting 'White Student Union' At College

Facebook recently pulled down a page that was called the “UC Berkeley White Student Union."

CBS San Francisco reports that the non-official University of California page stated that it wanted to “unapologetically provide a safe space for white students to air their true feelings” about the “challenges European-American students on college campuses face.”

Several UC students told the news station that the page was racist and mocked the Black Lives Matter movement.

Facebook pulled the page because the creator used a fictional profile.

UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks said in a statement on Nov. 23: “While UC Berkeley honors First Amendment rights, we do not endorse this attempt to create conflict and make light of the efforts of activists locally and nationally.”
